Detailed Description;
Pros for the car, this baby's a cruiser. Careful not to speed! It's easy to do in this thing. It's got a smooth running six-cylinder engine that practically glides along the highway. She just had new tires put on her, and just came back from the mechanic with all systems go. The car is in good condition with average wear. She runs well, with a slew of features for a comfortable ride. All of its features work like a charm, or at least the ones I'm aware of. The owners' manual went missing (sorry folks), so there's all kinds of bells and whistles I've never tapped into. There's a pull up shade for the rear window (if you can see it, it's up in the pics). The windshield wipers are automated and go faster or slower depending on the rainfall. The rearview mirror does this neat trick when its dark; it dims the oncoming headlights so they don't blind you while you drive. The climate control is a great feature, allowing for very precise heating and cooling. The air conditioner was repaired last month and blows icy cold. For the winter time there's heated seats. Everything in this car is powered, from rearranging the mirrors to your snazzy memory settings on the powered seats. Note the pretty blue and red light show on your dashboard when the headlights are turned on, as well as the lovely wood finishes. Your dashboard includes a little analog display that tells you how many miles you have left in your gas tank, as well as the miles you're getting to the gallon (average of about 26-28 MPG), and the ever-so-polite 'Please Refuel' message when the time comes. The back middle seat folds down into cup holders/table setting for the kiddies or your friends on those long road trips. The car is clean, with all of the carpets stain free and lookin' good accept for the little place beneath the accelerator. It just looks like stubborn dirt, so a good scrub would get it out. The car has a moon roof and very large trunk, which is also unscathed. I put the seats down to fit a bicycle in there no problem. Another interesting feature, it drives as an automatic, but has the option to shift manually. I could never get the hang of the manual drive because the car doesn't have a clutch, but it's there if you want to use it! The interior is fully functional with all the lights working, etc. See below for the things that are worn on the car.

The exterior paint has a few very minor scratches, the worst of which is on the left rear bumper and is a dark scuff mark about 4-inches long. There's a tiny ding on the passenger side door. Everything else was small enough that I had a hard time finding them again. The rest of the exterior checks out. Biggest cons of the car, there's some wear on the interior. In no way has it affected my enjoyment of the car, nor its overall appearance. I just want to present an honest listing. It's still a very comfortable ride and I recently scrubbed it to a shine, but the drivers' seat has a worn tear in it, and the passenger seat is worn and the leather has cracked. It's not ripped on the passenger side, just cracked. The back seats are in fine condition, and the luxury leather finishes are still in good shape. I noticed a very small (less than 1/4 inch) slit in the leather finish on the left rear door, and the wood finish is cracked a bit on the passenger side door. The window button on the drivers' side that operates the passenger window will roll the passenger window down but not up...to be clear, the window button on the passenger side works fine both ways. The cover for the bass knob on the stereo is missing (see pics), though it doesn't affect its function. The floor mat in the back seat on the right side used to be anchored down to a plastic disk, kind of like a really big button. It popped off somehow, and I never 'buttoned' it back on because it would take a little bit of force to do this. Lastly, the sealant (??? not sure what to call this. It seems to be a thin, clear coating that makes the plastic in the car appear satiny) has worn away where there was the most friction (around the drivers' side window buttons, the glove compartment, etc.). 

Aaaaand, that's it. No cons to report otherwise. This car belonged to my dad, and he recently gave it to me after buying a new one. All of the bazillion options on it just really aren't my style. I have my heart set on an old 1989 convertible, and so I'm trying to get the cost of the car I want covered. My dad primarily used the Passat to drive to and from work for the past 10 years. He's a non-smoker. The car has never been in a single accident and the title is clear. He's been the only owner besides myself, and I just got the car two weeks ago. I wouldn't even be selling it if I didn't have my heart set on this old convertible I found.
